Very charming cottage in beautiful agricultural setting in
"Les sept vallees" on 35 minutes drive from Le Touquet - Paris Plage and only 15 minutes from Montreuil sur Mer.
The cottage was built (1882) in the local traditional U-style, meaning that the main building, the barn and the old stables are built around a courtyard. On this very sunny "cour", you are protected from the sometimes strong sea wind. One could say, as long as it's not raining, you can comfortably sit outside throughout the year.
All is situated on a plot of about 4.000 M2, with several terraces (sunny and shady), a lot of grass, fruit trees and parking space for several cars. From the cour at the front there is a lovely wide view over the fields, whereas the back garden provides privacy.
The main building contains a large living/dining room with exposed beams and charming "Godin" wood burner which gives away a lot of heat.
The closed fitted kitchen is on the back and contains an induction cooker with stove and a dishwasher. The kitchen leads to the sunny terrace on the back of the house where we usually enjoy our dinners in summer. NB: We do not have a microwave, nor a washing machine!!
One smaller bedroom with 2 beds is located on the ground floor, as well as the bathroom with sink and bath and a separate loo.
A cosy library is also on the ground floor, with heavy dark beams and a huge NOT WORKING old fireplace.
On the first floor there are 2 good-sized bedrooms with each 2 beds. The beams on this floor are low and the staircase is difficult, so these rooms are best suitable for the younger and not too heavy guests.
Closest facilities are at 8 km in the village of Hucqueliers. There you’ll find among more the supermarket Carefour Contact, a bakery, “friterie”, bar/tabac, tourist office, hairdresser and the well known Auberge d’Hucqueliers which is very nice for lunch or dinner.
The new Louvre Lens which opened last december is at only one hour from our place in the former mining city of Lens. Entrance is free the first year after opening!
WIFI available.
Please bring your own bedding and towels as we do not have a washing machine.
All.
You can contact me any time but I will not be around.

Thanks Buf, for the wonderful week in your lovely cottage on the French country side. It was so relaxing, and wonderful and the house was great!

What a fantastic place! The pictures do it justice but I was still surprised at just how cosy and well equipped this was. We met Maurits on arrival and had everything we needed explained carefully. It was a lovely break away and I would definitely love to return in the summertime. You obviously need a car to get around and I'd recommend visiting Montreuil sur Mer for food and wine shopping, and Le Touquet for a walk on the beach.

What a great place this is well worth a visit very classy furnishings a massive garden to play in and my favourite part was there was a record player in there which I used everyday and I even did paintings of some of the record covers. The only down side for me was the steep stairs but that's not too bad really because there is a bedroom downstairs...but yeah we shall definitely try and go back there. The local area is very quiet but there are beaches not far away and we found a couple of local brocantes to spend our euros at. The nearest Carrefour is in hucquliers where we spent more of our euros. All in all a very relaxing way to spend a week in France

Very nice house, well equipped, in a silent and rural environment. We had a dog with us and could walk a lot with him nearby the house. We had a lovely diner nearby in Montreuil, and some lunch in Le Tourquet. Both nice places to have a stroll. So you can seek for the silent with reading a book in the house in front of the fireplace (which was very pleasant to have) or just visit a small town nearby. I can recommend the house.

A modern detached house set in Boubers Les Hesmond, the smallest village in the Seven Valleys region of Pas de Calais. Whilst only being 40 minutes from Le Touquet and many other beaches. A mere 20 minutes from the walled city of Montreuil and 50 minutes from St Omer.

The house has 4 bedrooms. There are two twin rooms downstairs and a downstairs shower room, making it ideal for those who may struggle with stairs. Upstairs there is a double and a king size bedroom and bathroom.
The lounge has a television with free to view English channels, DVD player and an iPod docking station.
The kitchen is well equipped with numerous utensils, a gas cooker, fridge freezer, dishwasher and microwave.
The shower room downstairs has a washing machine. Dishwasher tablets and cleaning products are provided, also tea towels, dishcloths and washing up liquid.
Outside, the house is on a plot of a third of an acre, with gates that can be shut and locked. It is a safe environment for small children. We have a 14ft trampoline, that you may use. But you do so at your own risk.
You can arrive after 2pm and should leave no later than 12 midday on the day of departure.
Towels and bed linen are not included in the rental cost, therefore you would need to take your own.
There is a hairdryer upstairs and one downstairs.
I have a number of board games that you are welcome to use during your stay, I just ask that you look after them and put them away safely. There are also various books for you to read.
Primarily the house is my second home, you are welcome to use the whole house and garden, I just request that you look after it.
I have caretakers who look after the house for me. They are available to contact by phone during your stay. If for some reason you cannot contact them, I am available by phone.

The village is the smallest in the Seven Valleys and offers a tranquil setting away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
Close by there is the walled city of Montreuil, made famous by Les Miserables. The beach at Berck Sur Mer holds an international kite festival each year in April, that is well worth a visit.
If you are interested in history there are numerous war cemeteries in the surrounding area. At St Omer there is La Coupole, which was built to launch the V2 rockets. We are also not far from the battleground of Agincourt.
For those that enjoy golf there are many golf courses up to an hours drive from the house.
Because of the location of the property a car is essential for your stay.
As the village is so quiet, I would expect guests to be mindful of the residents of the village.

We had a wonderfull stay at maison hahn this weekend. The house was clean and cosy and very comfortable. It had everything we needed. Also the environment was really beautifull. We just walked out of the door and did some walks starting at the house. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the nature.

The house is rustic but it's quiet and isn't overlooked. We love the situation, the gentle stream, listening to the cows and birds in the adjacent fields.
Excellent walking and cycling countryside. Strong wi fi.

50 sq mar lounge area, conservatory. Loads of room.
Mostly on one level, just one step inside and into the lounge area.
Local cleaner and handyman

Very rural. Pretty valley with a small river running past the front of the drive. Beautiful views. 12 working farms in the village. Mostly farm vehicles on the road in the summer. Very peaceful.
Situated in the valley of the river Bras de Bronne. About 10 Minutes from Montreuil-sur-mer, and 25 minutes from Le Touquet via La Madelaine. 30 mins from Agincourt and Vimy Ridge. About 1 hour from the battlefields of the river Somme. 45 minutes from Hardelot.
There is little light pollution and so the sky at night can be a mantle of bright stars and planets. A wonder if you like star gazing.
There are plenty of different species of birds. A pair of Tawny owls are within hearing distance. I have also heard short owls calling but this is very rare.

Cosy farmhouse, a bit old fashioned inside but who cares! Tidy, equipped, good shower, clean and fresh linnen. Beautiful surroundings with quiet walks through the fields. Andrew was away, but answered all our questions right away on line.

Monica is a wonderful person and host. We felt really at home and were very happy to stay at this marvelous place. The surroundings are beautiful, ideal for those who like to walk in the French outskirts. The place is very clean and part of an old farmhouse. Lot's of space with a very nice fireplace. We plan to go back!

We've just got home from a wonderful long weekend in Torcy and stayed at the beautiful Vallée d'Orya. The gîte was perfect for us (5 adults) with plenty of space for more. The French countryside surrounding is so peaceful and the pool is the perfect addition. Although the gîte is in the countryside, it's not far from a couple of big towns and we enjoyed several trips out in the car. Anne-Marie is a great host and could not have done more to make the stay better. Thoroughly recommend and will be visiting again as soon as possible!!

Traditional French Farmhouse with four en suite bedrooms and a very large Grande Salon perfect for family gatherings or group parties. The spacious accommodation has a private garden and covered terrace with decking area and BBQs.

The Farmhouse is in a tranquil rural village only 50 miles from Calais and less than half an hour by car are the beaches of the Cote d' Opale , and the market towns of Hesdin, Fruges, Desvres and the beautiful mediaeval town of Montreuil with its ramparts.
We live in our own house on the site and would be available if the guests needed any assistance.

Could you please supply your own towels, thank you very much.

Our stay in Herly was a dream !!!! Michael and his wife were waiting for us, offered us a few things (eggs from home chicken, christmas cake......) ; they offered us to go shopping for us, and gave us the addresses for shopping All was perfect, we had a very good family Christmas, and will remember our stay.

Patsy and Michael met us with a hearty welcome, even though we arrived a few hours later than planned. They are a cheerful and friendly couple who have thought of everything. The main house has beautiful decorations (tapestries, old drawings, antiques) and was spacious enough for our party of 10 (4 adults, 6 children). The four bedrooms (all identical, with a double bed, a single bed, and a bathroom) are in a breezeway and each can be separately accessed. While all the bedrooms have their own (very effective) heaters, the communal space relies on the fireplace and portable radiators. Thus, bringing layers can guard against the temperature fluctuations there. We enjoyed using the barbecue and there were plenty of things for the children to play with. The backyard is large and fenced in and the children loved running around. The tv has many channels from which to choose. The whole compound is along the main road, but due to the rural nature of Herly, it is not busy and one feels as if one is removed from it. We appreciated such great hospitality and had a great time. I would definitely recommend it for a large group.

We had a wonderful stay at Michael and Patsy's house, a very warm welcome on arrival, and we immediately felt at home. Even if you forgot to bring food for the first morning, we were surprised to find some croissants, cake, milk, orange juice, and even wine in the kitchen. Thank you for a lovely - yet too short - stay on your farm. Kisses from Ben and family

UN MATIN DANS BOIS, a Morning in the forrest, was a fantastic beautiful place, and so can be said about Marine , her husband and son. The mornings there were so nice, going to the sofa in the forrest and enjoy the view, then going on to the svings and enjoy the sun peiping into the wood. They make the most amasing breakfast. The room was beautifully designed , and a very confortable bed . I am already thinking about, when to return.
